My wife and I were looking for an apartment that was well located in the heart of Leblon and close to the beach, and this location is unbeatable. The fact that it's in an apart-hotel adds extra conveniences not usually found in a private apartment, like cleaning and laundry service. We would definitely return.

This apartment was perfect for us. In Leblon which was chilled and safe. Petra and her crew were very helpful, friendly, quick to respond and made us feel welcome. The view was spectacular!! Great that there was a balcony to have our glass of wine with Corcovado in the horizon. I definitely recommend this good value for money apartment and recommend reliable Petra!

Hi Petra
I found your service top notch from booking, being met at the airport, meeting Mel who gave us invaluable advice and then being taken back to the airport by the lovely George. We facilities in the apartment are rather basic but soon we settled in and the location and wonderful view easily made up for it.
We had an amazing time in Rio and absolutely loved it. We had nothing but kindness from the people we met and, of course, the Olympics were thrilling. We managed to visit all three main beaches, Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer, all wonderful.
You are lucky to live in such a fabulous place.Thanks again.
Warm Regards, Anne

Perhaps the best rental experience I've had. Petra was extremely communicative, flexible and helpful. The flat is beautiful and comfortable. Great view. Great location. I could not be happier with everything.

We would totally recommend this place. The apartment is located just around the corner of Leblon's shopping mall, very easy to find. And it's just two blocks away from the beach, less than a 10mins walk to Ipanema, very well connected to the rest of the city. There's plenty of restaurants and bars around, a supermarket very closeby, everthing you need to enjoy your stay. Wifi works perfectly, the kitchen could be a bit improved but has you need to cook. The apt looks exactly like the pictures, and the view is even better than expected! We loved having breakfast looking at the Corcovado, and enjoying the lighting view at night! Also, Petra was very responsive when we needed something. Would definitely come back and recommend this place!

The appartment is very nice, the view to the lagune is beautiful. It's clean, comfortable and the neighbourhood in leblon is calm and safe. It's a really good place to explore rio! we recommend to use the pickup service from the airport - after a long travel the best choice.

Fantastic time in Rio! Appartment was just what we needed. Great location. perfect locality, a slow 5 min walk to the beach. Pics on the sight dont do the view from the terrace justice though. Will never forget the view having first coffee of the morning. Special thanks to Tessa for giving us the local info etc. Iain

“I was very pleased to see that the apartment was just as pictured! The interaction with someone from the team was as described and we were greeted upon arrival while also being greeted by polite lobby staff. The location was perfect for our stay. Shopping Leblon was just around the corner. We were there with a large group and the location proved to be right in the middle of everything, and just a short walk to the beach. What a great experience! I was worried about the kw usage as the listing limits usage but we were able to make it work just fine. I'd definitely recommend to someone traveling to the area.”

“Petra was a great host as she was always available on e-mail and whatsapp for any recommendations or questions I had. She was so helpful at helping me navigate my trip and giving advice. Also the views from the flat are incredible - you can see Corcovado and Christ The Redeemer statue in the far distance! Definitely a good way to try out living like a local, in an area that is quieter but also close to Rua Dias Ferreira if you're into trying fancy food! ”

Kelly, US

“The apartment is exactly as described and as others have said in their reviews. Excellent location and wonderful view. It is worth staying there for the security of the neighborhood too. The service and communication was great. Thanks! ”

Juan, Colombia

“We really enjoyed the time there. The location of the apartment is great because is near to the beach and near to the lake, so we enjoyed different environments according to the weather. Our time inside the flat was as expected because is like photos showed us. We definitely will be back there when the weather get better. Thank you very much!”

Joyce, US

“We had a great experience with staying at the apt. We had issues with our flights and arrived really late but Mel and Perra were accommodating. Mel met us at the apt the next morning to welcome us and she was helpful with informing the doorman about our luggage arriving late. The location is perfect - close to the beach and all the restaurants and shops. The apt gets cleaned everyday (doesn't include washing sheets, towels, etc) which was great. All in all, it was a great stay and hosts were great!”

“It was a wonderful stay. The apartment and its location are perfect for a stay in Rio. Both hosts, Tessa and Petra, are really nice. Great contact, very helpful and responsive. Would always come back!”

Kate, England

“Tessa and Petra helped to provide lots of information and guidance before and during our stay in Rio and Tessa kindly offered help to coordinate the return of an item that was left by us in the flat. Their website - Rio By Housing - has fantastic details about local restaurants/toursit attractions, which we found very helpful. The basic flat was in a safe building with kind reception staff and located right beside Shopping Leblon, which was convenient. The views are definitely the highlight of the flat. Many thanks!”

Cornelia, Sweden

A week before arrival we received a welcome by Tessa with all important details. There was also offered Airport shuttle we agreed to because my mates traveled for the first time to Rio. I (who had booked accommodation) arrived a day later. The apartment was in a big way as described in, the kitchen is small and simple but it works for making breakfast. The apartment has a terrace with views of Lagoo which was really nice. You could sit outside and have a glass of wine or so. The pool we used only once, the fans no more time for it. The apartment is fantastic to directly beside the Shopping Leblon, a large shopping mall with all brand shops and cafes. The beach is a few minutes walk away and then there are a lot of really good restaurants within 15 minutes walking distance. Petra has a binder in the apartment with restaurant tipps, the info how to get to the main sightseeing attractions and what to watch out for. Very good for first-time visitors Rio.

Katrin, Germany

Thank you very much Petra! Your apartment was amazing! Stunning view, comfortable beds, nice and clean shower and useful extras. We loved all the places and activities you recommended! We would definitely come back to Rio and stay in Petra's place! 5 stars!

Very nice and well equipped apartment with a fantastic view from the terrace over the lagoon and the statue of Christ in the background. The location just a few hundred meters from the Ipanema Beach and with lots of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance is perfect. Petra and Tessa are great hosts, helpful and easy to get in contact with. I’ll recommend it anytime. Really good value for money.

Limor, Australia

Great apartment in the perfect location! 5 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute walk to the best restaurants and bars in leblon, next door to a beautiful shopping centre with money exchange and banks and everything you need for a comfortable stay in rio! Thank you so much Petra and Tessa for everything - very helpful with tips on what to do and visit while in rio, punctual to meet us at the apartment for check in and check out. Can't fault at all! Would absolutely come Back

Freddy, Ecuador

Our trip to Rio was awesome: This city by itself is marvelous. Additionally we were pleased to stay at this comfortable and well located apartment. Leblon neighborhood is beautiful and safe. It is necessary to come back...Thanks for all.

Erika, Australia

Really nice apartment located in a clean and quiet hotel with swimming pool, sauna and fitness area. The apartment is situated literally at the back of the Leblon shopping mall, 3 blocks from the beach and in the area there are many fancy restaurants to choose from. It is spacious, bright and quiet, with a lovely view of the Lagoa. With daily housekeeping, a 24 hour reception and a taxi stand directly in front of the building, this is the place to stay.The apartment accommodates a couple and 2 more people easily. We recommend this apartment for a great Rio de Janeiro trip!
